TL;DR Review: I can't say enough nice things about this place. If you're in doubt, go in and find…read moreout. I had my Strat set up at Guitar Center ten years ago with 13 gauge strings. A decade older, I decided that I don't play hard enough to warrant 13s, so I asked a musician friend of mine who he'd trust with his most valued instruments. He said Renown was it, so I headed over. I walked in on a Wednesday, asked for a setup for lighter strings. The staff were helpful and openly gave recommendations when I didn't really know what to say after they asked what kind of strings I'd like. I settled on Stringjoy light gauge strings. They promised Tuesday of the following week due to the heavy workload they'd received recently. I got the call two days later on Friday; it was ready to be picked up. When I got my guitar back, their charge was WAY cheaper than Guitar Center (like a fraction of the cost), and my guitar plays better than it ever has. No fret buzz, no intonation issues, and sooo comfortable. I played for about three minutes, and said aloud to an empty room, "Wow." I love this place and I'm probably going to take them my Martin this week.

Very knowledgeable techs. Turn around is slow but it is because they take pride in their work. They…read morewant the instrument to be properly fixed and not bandaged. Highly recommend for brass instrument repair.

If you have a musical instrument that needs cleaning or repair, trust these guys to do the job…read moreright. They all have great training and skill, and they are honest enough to tell you what you need to hear. They wont try to sell you what you don't need. I'm a musician, and I do a lot of business with Independent. I send my students there, I take my kids' instruments there, I take my own horns there. I get personalized and helpful advice, I can stock up on valve oil, and often I can even try a horn on consignment. Tips: While they're very busy, they can work with you if you are on a tight schedule. Avoid summer for getting your horn cleaned - the schools have all turned in their horns too. When visiting the place, it can be strange to find - it's on the back side of the white retail building closest to Maryland St. Their sign is on the street marquis, but it's not large. One drawback for the average Joe is that the shop is only open M-F 10-6, no Saturday hours. But you can leave an instrument with Saied Music over in Lakewood Village, and it will be taken over and back for you.

Lively music and a quiet studio made for a great time with the instructor practically giving us a one on one session. We sanded, distressed, stained, and painted our boards to our liking.

There are few things I love more than a spontaneous Saturday. So when brunch flowed into, "Let's go…read moreto Board and Brush," I pulled out my pennies and made it happen at the last minute. I am so glad that I did. This was my first time experiencing Board and Brush as I am more of a Painting With a Twist, chick; however, I loved the banging, staining and painting that went into the creation of my new board. Now, I want to stain EVERYTHING! LOL I am thankful that the owner easily accommodated my last minute addition. The layout of the space was pretty good though I wish my table had been pushed a little more away from the wall because the employees had to access things behind me a lot during the session and that was a little uncomfortable. It was also difficult to hear instructions sometimes and I think might have been helpful for the staff to have whistles to get everyone's attention for important things. Our group was highly verbal (smile). One additional thing that would have been nice is if we'd had the ability to adjust the design a little bit. I did not know that the corporate trademark designs were so very rigid that we couldn't do something simple like add a hook to the front of the board to accommodate the calendar I am going to hang from my board. Corporate really should give sites that bit of flexibility but it's cool because I'm going to install one myself as soon I get home. Overall, I had a great time with my friend and made a few new friends along the way. Great way to spend a Saturday!
